What I wish to know is who she was. Before she wasn't anymore.
[History matters. Murphy's learnt that harder than some, stumbling into ALIE's roots, Becca's influence, the thirteenth station and the whole birth of the commander and the flame. Even in a world which had supposedly ended, restarted new, the past had carried on rippling forward. He can't imagine that this war is any different.
And then there's just the matter of Cathaway. How many times he's gone to her now, curiosity driving him just as much as any particular need for her help or advice.]
I mean, maybe we're just not supposed to care. Everyone gets eaten by the hivemind and then no one knows what any of us were like. What we wanted, what we'd left behind. Better to just forget all that, right?
